I’m intrigued by the word ‘monger’ – as in warmonger, fearmonger, ironmonger, etc.

The dictionary defines it as one who sells or promotes something, usually something that is petty or undesirable.

So if I’m in the business of promoting people who are petty and undesirable (i.e. if I’m a ganster leader) does that make me a mongermonger?

Sounds like a James Bond villan’s name, so that’s probably right.

O no it looks like my c heap might be exhausted. It’s no wonder, we’re working the poor guy to death

When my eldest daughter was a tiny child, i had fun once when she had the hiccups. I asked her to sing the “Alphabet Song” all the way through without hiccuping, and if she did, she had to start over. Yay that was fun and we laughed a lot – well most if it was from me, he he he. Yes I’m evil that way.

Well I’m experiencing the same kind of thing today at work. I don’t have the hiccups but the system I support does. And I have to get through certain tasks all the way through to completion before the system “hiccups” or I have to start all over.

I’d be really frustrated by now, but I remember my daughter’s laugh when she couldn’t stop hiccuping and that makes me smile πŸ™‚
